Marcus Rashford is on a roll this season. He is currently on a run of 10 goals in his last 11 games and is quickly establishing himself as one of the most dangerous players in the league. Whereas the speeds of Lingard and James are their biggest assets, the Englishman has mixed his outstanding speed with brilliant goal scoring form.

Rashford is without doubt Manchester United’s most potent attacking weapon at present and is also the fastest at the club player right now. The Englishman helped United get the better of Tottenham and Manchester City in a space of 3 days, scoring 3 goals in those 2 games.

Against the traditional top 6 this season, he has managed to score 6 goals in 5 games. He also has 2 goals against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and even scored the winner against Leicester City earlier in the season.

There are few players in the world who can match the speed and power of Rashford when he breaks free. The Englishman covers up ground in a flash, spearheading Manchester United’s breakneck counter-attacks and adds power and precision to the final third of the pitch.

The Englishman has been the fastest Manchester United player on 8 of the 16 games this season. He remains the only United player to break the 36 km/hr barrier this term, a feat he managed twice. The Englishman’s top speed was achieved against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford when he recorded 36.32 km/hr.
